concrete dam with a rifle than a transformer.<br>
<br>
As long as we have discussed the matter I think that is all that
matters. I'm happy and content.<br>
<br>
Worse case scenario<br>
<br>
A guy called Putin has been targeting them in Ukraine. Copycat.<br>
<br>
Someone shoots out a dozen at minus 20c, two can cut off electricity to a
city of a million people. One or two you can replace quickly a dozen
at the same time you're talking months to restore power. <br>
<br>
What sort of idiot would do that? Well one or two people don't exactly
love America. One of the drug cartels whose boss is imprisoned in the
US?<br>
<br>
Then you have those that would like to overthrow the government or do it
just for kicks.<br>
<br>
Have fun<br>

in one of the states where people fired at and damaged a power
substation so I'm concerned about the safety of our infrastructure.
Unfortunately there are many infrastructures that are vulnerable to
attacks. Such facilities as water plants, dams, bridges, transportation,
pipelines, hospitals, and a host of others. But I believe that mapping
them can also help. If you go back to the idea that "security through
obscurity" I think you'll find that it is just an illusion. </div><div><br></div><div>BTW
